Highlighting Healers and Hope: Holding Liat

We encourage the JCP community to join Rabbi Deena to join us in the third installment in Highlighting Healers and Hope. A screening of the powerful film Holding Liat as it begins it theatrical release.

ABOUT HOLDING LIAT: What begins as a chronicle of Liat Atzili’s parents, sister, and children’s efforts to secure her return from captivity, becomes a portrait of conflicting impulses towards anger, indifference, and compassion straining the bonds of one grieving family.
Liat Atzili joined the JCP community back in 2024 at our first commemoration of 10/7 to bravely share her story with the community. The producers of the film have been generous enough to arrange for discounted seats for JCP members.

You may order your tickets here and use the discount code “JCP” to save $4 off each ticket: HOLDING LIAT

If you cannot attend on January 15, the “JCP” discount code applies to all showings of the film at the Film Forum from January 9-15: https://filmforum.org/film/holding-liat
